Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Security

Scope of Works:

Partnering with Volker Fitzpatrick, Mackin installed security measures at more than 20 key locations across the Olympic Park.

Description:

• A temporary works area was set up on site including a site office and ‘goods in’ secured compound.
• Traffic and pedestrian management measures were introduced in liaison with the main contractor.
• Works were carried out to excavate and install; ducting for power supply; below ground high strength reinforced concrete; and foundations for security control panels.
• Reinstatement works included tarmac and paving.
• Military grade, stone filled, ‘Hesco Barriers’ were installed at key locations across the Olympic Park.

Challenges:

• Co-ordination works to ensure they did not delay other critical works occurring across the Olympic Park.
• Post-games Mackin decommissioned the site security measures and salvaged the normally one-time use vehicle blockers’, for reuse.

Outcome:

All works delivered on time. And salvage of the vehicle blockers saved the client a considerable sum of money.
